GruenbergKegelGraph( G )

Parameters

G

-

a small group

Description

• 

For a finite group G, the Gruenberg-Kegel graph (also known as the prime graph) of G is the graph with vertices the prime divisors of the order of G, and for which two vertices p and q are adjacent if G has an element of order pq.

• 

The GruenbergKegelGraph( 'G' ) command returns the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of the finite group G.

• 

Commands in the GraphTheory package can be used to visualize the graph returned by this command, as well as to analyze its properties.

Examples

withGroupTheory:

The vertices of the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of the Monster sporadic finite simple group are the so-called supersingular primes.

The self-loops indicate those supersingular primes p for which the Monster has an element of order p2.
